"My daughter never cried before."

With a single word from him, the atmosphere subsided.

"Who made the daughter I raised so nicely cry like this?"

Whenever Cade's gaze touched each person, people avoided his eyes. Soon after, Seth opened his mouth.

"It's okay Irene. You don't have to say it. Just wipe them all out. It must be one of them."

Then Arban calmly replied with a cold face that was not like him.

"No. She has a weak stomach. Better handle it from behind."

I wiped away my tears with a sniffle.

No. I don't want things to go that far.

Feeling that something big was going to happen, I quickly decided to tattle who the criminal was.

"That uncle said bad things."

Three pairs of red eyes turned to Retra.

"Oh, are you talking about that rat?"

Cade twisted his lips and laughed.

"I was getting ready to take care of them one day, but thank you for setting the game up, Retra."

I thought that the guy named Retra was the main target of, 'These fools are always asking for help with their bare mouths. I should kick them out.'

Retra jumped as the situation turned serious.

"No. Children usually cry a lot, don't they? I didn't make her cry."

But Cade seemed unwilling to listen.

"You've hurt my daughter's heart, and you will pay the price."

He looked very angry, making Retra's complexion turn white.

Could it be that I made this bigger than necessary?

I was worried for a moment, but when I remembered what Retra just said, I was angry again. I whispered in Cade's ear.

"That Uncle said Daddy was a bad guy. I heard everything."

"That's why you felt upset?"

"Yes. That's why Irene is sad."

It's my daddy.

Suddenly, my lips went down and my eyes got wet. Sniff. When I got upset again and buried my face on his shoulder, Cade asked back while comforting me.

"How should I scold that uncle?"

It was a voice with a hint of joy. I was troubled by his sudden question.

How do you scold him?

I've never thought about it. I don't know, so I shook my head.

"Daddy. I don't know how."

"Right."

Cade laughed out loud. Soon, a cold voice reached Retra.

"The promise of alliance with your clan is void, Retra."

"What is that...! To end the alliance unilaterally like this? It's not something that can be decided by a child's words! Won't you listen to me?"

"I don't think it's necessary."

"Children of that age are good at lying. Of course, you should listen to m-!"

"Retra."

Cade cut off Retra's excited words. I clenched my fist out of resentment.
